    Hi ZD I wonder sometimes if there is a unit to unit difference between the same models. Possibly very similar to testing two of the same Colt (or other brand) 1911‘s, and noticing a better trigger on one of them. All within tolerances as the manufacturers say. My eye may not be as good as yours...

    Zeiss 10x42 SF -or- Leica Ultravid HD+ 10x42... that is the question!

    Kind of new to the forum wasn’t sure where to post this. We’ve been talking about the topic so I figured here is a good place to post. Not to mention you were a motivating factor in the purchases Comparing Zeiss & Leica. 11/26 My first impressions comparing the 8x32 Zeiss victory SF and the...
